Difficulties arise when it is necessary to wash various dishes and kitchen utensils from old fat, which we forgot about, and they have lain in a contaminated state for a long time.

For example, it is quite difficult to wash a frying pan or baking sheet from burnt fat, even a glass plate with abundant greasy spots found in the open spaces of the kitchen can be extremely difficult to wash to a shine. But where classic detergents fail, folk recipes will always come to the rescue. Today we just want to discuss with you the issues of removing old fat from different dishes.

To wash traces of burnt fat from your household kitchen utensils, Fairy or Pemolux often can not help, so you should look at the means for washing the stove or oven. Of course, these compositions are extremely strong, but they do an excellent job.

Among the popular aggressive detergents are: Amway, Shumanit, Sanita, Cif, Comet, Mr. Proper. It is worth listening to before taking one or another composition.

Strong household chemicals, of course, will cope with any, even the most chronic pollution, but it is not always at hand, and you don’t always want to run to the store to buy one can of funds.

Crockery requiring more thorough cleaning

In addition, not all housewives like to use such strong chemical compounds for their household items, mindful of allergies and other misfortunes, and if small children live in the apartment, then the use of such products will be simply dangerous.

In addition, the cost of detergents with extra strong qualities is high, and it is basically unreasonable to buy a jar for single use.

But do not despair, because experienced housewives have developed a large number of different recipes for removing fat, based on substances familiar to us from childhood. Such ways of washing dishes will not take much effort from you, but it will take some time.

Note that even when using folk remedies and recipes for washing and cleaning, you should follow the basic safety rules.

For most household chores, the use of rubber gloves is mandatory.

• All work must be done with rubber gloves so as not to harm the skin of the hands.
• When using detergents, both chemical and household, you need to open the windows in the kitchen to ventilate the room, if you do not plan, you can also turn it on.
• When using harsh dishwashing detergents, it's best to use an old sponge that you plan to throw away.

Let's start with the most well-known cleaning agent, baking soda.

Soda

To wash old, dried fat from dishes, you can use recipes using soda. This substance is present in any kitchen, since its range of applications is impressively wide, from cooking food to cleaning up dirt and removing odors. In addition, soda does not harm others and can be safely considered an environmental cleaning agent.

The first way to build on a tandem of soda and citric acid:

• dirty, greasy dishes: a frying pan or a saucepan, it is necessary to wet it with plenty of plain warm water;
• then a mixture of soda and citric acid must be applied to its surface;
• now you have to wait until the reaction occurs, and the mixture begins its cleansing action;
• literally in a few minutes, the spent mixture must be washed off the dishes and additionally rinsed with warm water and ordinary detergent;
• now your dishes are sparkling clean.

Note that when using soda and lemon, the surface of the dishes does not even need to be rubbed hard, the chemical reaction will perfectly break down the fat, and make it easy to wash. It is good to wash in this way not only a pan or pan, but also glassware.

Baking soda will help remove these stains.

For thorough and gentle washing of dishes, in particular pots, pans, baking sheets, vinegar is often used together with soda, the usual 9% vinegar solution.

The second method is based on the use of soda and vinegar:

• first, a special mixture of soda and vinegar is prepared in equal proportions;
• then dirty dishes with frozen fat are rubbed with this mixture, and remain in such a treated state for 10-15 minutes;
• after the time has elapsed, the dishes can be easily washed with a regular sponge.

By the way, for the pan, they came up with a special method for cleaning carbon and fat without using water, using salt and vinegar. To remove dirt, pour a few tablespoons of salt into the pan to fill the entire bottom, and then pour table vinegar in a 1 to 1 ratio.

Then put it on fire and ignite until the dirt moves away from the walls in pieces. After that, the surface of the pan is perfectly washed using ordinary detergent and water. Recall that the use of metal brushes is not permissible for all pans, so as not to tear off a special, non-stick coating.

For most modern frying pans, such a brush is not suitable.

Fat deposits in pans can be removed with soda and vegetable oil. To do this, a similar mixture must be applied to the contamination and allowed to soak a little, and then washed.

original methods

One of the effective detergents, according to our grandmothers, is mustard powder. Regular mustard will help you wash even old fat from dishes.

• For example, to remove soot and fat from a frying pan, it must first be properly warmed up. Then pour the melted remains, and rub the pan with mustard powder. After 10-15 minutes, the pan is perfectly washed with plain water, all dirt is removed, including old fat and soot.
• If it is necessary to wash ceramic or glassware that you cannot put on fire, then for this it must be properly soaked in a mustard solution. To do this, water is poured into the container, mustard powder is poured out, the composition is mixed and dishes are loaded into it. It takes half an hour to marinate the dishes in mustard, after which all the dirt is easily washed off with a normal wash.

It can cope with soot in a frying pan, which is permissible to simply rub the pollution. Not the best way, but apple acid really helps to remove carbon deposits.

Softening fat and soot in pans

The original recipe for washing old, battered pans came to us from our grandmothers. The recipe involves washing dishes with PVA glue and laundry soap:

• First of all, you need to find a huge tank or bucket in which we will boil our frying pan, you need to pour water into it and put it on fire.
• Bringing the composition to a boil, pour 100-150 grams of PVA glue into it and throw in the grated shavings of laundry soap, about half a piece.
• Now we need to cook this mixture until the soap is completely dissolved, and then immerse our pan in it.
• It is desirable to cook the pan in the resulting soap-adhesive solution for a couple of hours, in some cases more is possible.
• Long-term heat, alkaline treatment of the pan will melt fat and soot, so after boiling, it will not be difficult to wash it to a shine. It is permissible to use a metal brush to clean old household items.

Folk recipes have been tested in practice, with the help of them, more than one mountain of dishes was washed. Perhaps some of them will appeal to you, which means you will not use formidable chemicals, and wash the dishes with simple, affordable substances.
